Ahrimans Army




In the years following the rubric incident, ahriman searched for ways to reverse the effects. He searched for countless millennia, searching worlds from one side of the galaxy to the other. There came a day when he found the solution.

The bodies of still living space marines were capable hosts for the spirits of the thousand sons. During the early days of 13th Black Crusade Ahriman as able to capture a loyalist astarte. After days of arcane rituals he as able to steal the heart and mind of the marine, leaving the body a living vessel without a mind. With a living body free from mutation, superior to those of the thousand sons who had become living dust, he saw an oppertunity. He transfered the essence of one of the sons into the new body, the minds barely clinging to the dust were able to spread out and restore themselves.

The first of the army of Ahriman had been born....

So the plan.... I plan to model an army that's still largely TS, but i want to make it alot more alive in essence. i haven't got a model yet, i can't afford to for a few days, however i hope to have a concept model for this potential force in the next few days.

I'm going to scratch build the thousand son models, i am debating whether i should do it in some reverse 13th company idea, with the armour of the sons steadily mutating from loyalist gear...

C&C welcome on this concept, but i have written it down as it seems too good an idea to waste.

I like the idea! Very imaginative but still possible! Just reading through the thousand sons book myself at the moment.

Plus I have a plan to make a Pre-heresy Thousand Sons army, I've actually bought some "Steam Knight" heads from maxi mini. The first head out of the selection look like a very good match to me. Just need to work out a cheap way to make they're staffs cheaply and easily.

Here's the link;
